‘Tis the Season for Benjies New York Deli

Our smoked fish tray is a popular one for parties, especially around the holidays!

There is so much going on in November and December—Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas—and Benjies Deli can help you with it all. What about the NFL and Monday Night Football? We’ve got it covered. We can’t help break the NBA standoff between players and owners, as that seems impossible even for them to sort out! We miss you, Lakers…

But back to celebrating the season, whether that be family holidays or sports! Thanksgiving is coming up, and many people have family in town for the whole weekend. Now, if you’ve spent hours (or even days) preparing a humongous turkey dinner for 25 people, the last thing you want to do for the rest of the weekend is cook. And, let’s be honest, there’s only so much turkey that a human can eat. Call Benjies! Make sure you call in an order for a selection from our hot dinners, served with potatoes, vegetables, salad,  rolls and butter. Choose from roast brisket of beef with potato pancakes, corned beef and cabbage, roast chicken, roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, meatloaf and gravy and Swiss steak. Make sure you call us BEFORE Thanksgiving though, as these orders usually need 72 hours advance notice. (more…)

There’s Still Time To Order SuperBowl Sandwiches for Sunday!

Chicken salad

Fear not, dear Benjies and Superbowl lovers! There’s still time to order your party trays, appetizers and sandwiches for your Superbowl Sunday party. Why slave over a hot stove on Saturday when you could just pick up some wonderful, freshly made food from Benjies on Sunday morning?

Just think: a platter of deviled eggs, just like mom used to make, and made by hand. If you’re attending a party, these are a perfect appetizer to bring. Benjies also makes their chicken, tuna and egg salads from scratch too. What restaurant makes anything from scratch anymore? Benjies New York Deli, that’s who. They’ve been doing it that way since Stan Weinstein opened the restaurant in 1967. (more…)

Homemade Chicken Pot Pies: From our Freezer to Your Oven

Take a pot pie home and keep it in the freezer!

Who doesn’t love the ease of a frozen dinner after a long day of work, sports or fun? Hot and piping from the oven, they can be quick, easy and hit the spot.

But most frozen meals are processed and made with preservatives in a factory. Is there an alternative? You bet there is!

I’m sure you’ve passed Benjies long counter on your way to your table or while waiting at the cash register. Have you ever looked in the freezer next to it? It’s full of Benjies’ homemade chicken and beef pot pies.

You never knew? Well, the secret is out! Those in the know love Benjies’ homemade pot pies, chock full o’ meat and veggies, swimming in thick gravy.

Many of our pot-pie loving customers buy two to ten of them at once and stash them in their home freezer for those “don’t-feel-like-cooking” nights. What about motor-home trips? Your mountain cabin trip? They’re perfect for when you’re out on a fishing vacation with your friends, but the fish aren’t biting. Pop a few frozen pot pies in the oven and they’ll be ready in no time.

That’s right–they have to be cooked in the oven. We make our pot pies like Mom used to make them, and that means no microwaves. Buttery, flaky pastry just out of the oven? Yes, please!

At the deli counter, you’ll also find an array of deli meats, savory eats and sweet treats, like our famous hot pastrami, but that’s for next time…

Don’t forget to ask for a chicken or beef pot pie to take home with you next time you’re at Benjies Deli. Or, better yet, make a special trip in for some so you’ve got them in the freezer when you need them.
